The correct way to consume Saffron
According to studies, the best correct way to consume Saffron is to use its powder. Saffron powder is more efficient and releases more compounds. For this reason, it is better to grind Saffron strings first and then use it. To enjoy the most properties and compounds, be sure to use ground Saffron powder and use this powder in foods or beverages.
It is generally said that it is better to use only three strands of Saffron for one meal a day. Each gram of Saffron is approximately equal to 463 strands. Therefore, one gram of Saffron can be consumed for approximately 150 meals. Consumption of five grams of Saffron or more can cause poisoning and consumption of 12 to 20 grams of Saffron can be even deadly.
There is no difference between the permissible consumption of Saffron for both women and men. Only about 30 mg of Saffron per day is allowed and will not be dangerous. However, pregnant women should be careful in consuming Saffron. In the early months of pregnancy, when the risk of miscarriage is high, it is recommended not to use Saffron, and after five months when the condition of the fetus is proven, you can use Saffron in very small amounts.
